Leadership

The Keys of the Kingdom

Jesus gave the keys of the Kingdom to leaders of the church, promising universal victory to His Church (Matt. 16:18).

In Acts the pattern of church planting indicates that the churches sent men across cultural and national borders to nourish weaker churches and establish new ones (Acts 11-15).

Therefore, it is local churches which are to take the initiative and responsibility in preaching the Gospel to all creation and sending missionaries to plant churches to the ends of the earth.
